Japan Gamer’s Itinerary: 10 Days of Nintendo, Anime & Cyberpunk

“Step through the Warp Pipe, and emerge into the Land of Dreams—Japan.”

High-five Mario in Shibuya, sleep at the “Former Nintendo Headquarters” in Kyoto, and scream on Donkey Kong’s mine cart. This is not just a trip; it’s a 10-day quest to clear the ultimate game map.

⚠️ Equip Before You Fly (Don’t Game Over)

Japan is “Hard Mode” without these two items. Equip them now:

🏁 Mission: Warp to Shibuya Base

🚫 Warning: Tokyo’s subway is a Dungeon. Dragging heavy luggage through crowds and stairs is “Hard Mode.” Don’t start your trip with a Game Over.

✅ Pro Strategy: Use the Airport Limousine Bus. It’s real-life “Fast Travel.” No transfers, no stress.
